Rob Plays Hockey

I discovered last week that a friend of mine, who is probably the greatest athlete I've ever known, plays hockey, so naturally I had to drop by a game to see him in action. I wasn't disappointed.

ISU Tailgate

One of our last tailgates of the season. We had a big crowd at this one.

Nick in Concert

This isn't a timely post, this was the Halloween concert, but better late than never.

 

Fall Senior Photos

Took advantage of a beautiful fall day to shoot some photos of our newest senior. Cody even got into the action.

Father's Weekend at Missouri State

Drove to Springfield to visit Alex over Father's weekend at Missouri State where we took in a football game. Missouri State lost, but we had a great time anyway.

College Visit - Southeast Missouri State

Southeast Missouri State left a very good impression with Michele and I, and most importantly, with Nick. We loved the campus, the cafeteria, the housing, and the  administrators we came into contact with.

Here are some of the sights from that visit:

This tree is called the gum tree due to the number of chewed pieces of gum that students have stuck to it over the years.

Champion Beech tree near the river front branch of the campus.

Looking out over the Mississippi towards Illinois.

Academic Hall, which is the landmark building of the campus.

 

The probability that this will be Nick's choice for college is very high.
